#26 Electric Vehicles
I will spend at least 60 minutes researching and weighing my options to see if a hybrid or electric vehicle makes sense for my lifestyle.
#4 Plant-Rich Diet
I will source 60 percent of my food from local producers each day. This could include signing up for a local CSA, buying from a farmer's market, visiting a food co-op, foraging with a local group, or growing my own ingredients.

I will research and support local farmers who have made the decision to not use synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

I will enjoy 3 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will use public transit 38 mile(s) per day and avoid sending up to 1.86 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
#3 Reduced Food Waste
I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.
#3 Reduced Food Waste
I will keep a daily log of food I throw away during the EcoChallenge, either because it went bad before I ate it, I put too much on my plate, or it was scraps from food preparation.

When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.
